I'm no expert, but I'm guessing that a replacement prosecutor is appointed; and then, looks for a face-saving (laughter) way out of the legal mess.
I will be interested in a few things.
First, the magnitude of the number of people who are named in the inevitable tort cases; and,
Second, whether Mister Nifong faces anything with potential slams time.
That's my guess as well....Nifong doesn't have the guts or class to drop this case himself, so he passes the buck...what a POS he is.
